ASTEROIDS

The classic game of Asteroids, rendered by laser on a floor. A player seated in a rolling chair is tracked by an overhead Microsoft Kinect sensor. The ship appears on the ground between the player’s feet while asteroids drift around the play space. Players use a mobile phone to fire missiles, creating frenetic gameplay that requires constant spinning and rolling. Nolan Bushnell, creator of Atari, was filmed playing at the LA STEAM Carnival.
